Construction inspection handbook
Construction inspection handbook is arranged in categories so that can be used in handbook fashion; each section stands independent of the others.
The arrangement of the major portion of Construction inspection handbook is organized in the same format as we usually find in building construction specification, the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) format.
It is generally agreed in the construction industry that the three control parameters for construction projects are: quality, time, and cost.
Until the advent of better project management tools in the late fifties and early sixties, quality was the element most controlled in the field.
Since 1960, the focus has shifted to time and cost controls, with an emphasis upon computerized scheduling (CPM). Undoubtedly, some of the increased emphasis upon schedule and cost has detracted from the control of quality.
Ironically, in the nuclear industry, where cost and time have literally run away in the later plants, quality control has been developed to a science.
Quality control procedures in the nuclear industry are the most demanding in the construction industry.
